Sounds like you can get exactly the same thing using the more
standard "pr" command:
:%!pr -3 -t -a
that's "-3" columns without header/footer information ("-t") and
done across ("-a") rather than columnarly. I use "pr -4 -t"
pretty regularly to columnize stuff while working at the
command-line, so it's become second-nature (so much so that I had
to double-check that the "-t" really did suppress headers/footers).
